Argentine President is released from hospital by Katelyn McLane

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner had been in the hospital due to a subdural hematoma, or blood clot on the surface of the brain. She had to have surgery, and luckily recovered quite well. She is now supposed to rest and avoid plane travel for 30 days, so the vice president of Argentina will take over her position for the time being.

It's great that Argentina's president is healthy and out of the hospital. It sounds like subdural hematoma would be a very bad thing to have, but it makes sense that she would live. I mean, there isn't much that the medical care we have today can't give you. I'm still glad that she's alright, however. Age 60 is definitely not old enough to die, especially when you're in charge of a country at that time.
